St Augustine Beach Commissioner Rich O’Brien has refused to provide a written evaluation of City Manager Max Royle, despite consensus of the remaining commissioners to comply with the process supposed to be part of the basis for his salary in the next budget year.
St Augustine residents turned out by the dozens last night, only to have their hopes dashed after city manager John Regan’s sophomoric attempt to boost support for his “pet commissioner” Nancy Sikes Kline and a thinly veiled attempt to save his job. Regan’s poor management and poor decision-making in the highly-paid position has been challenged by social friend and vice-mayor Commissioner Todd Neville as well as Mayor Nancy Shaver, putting Regan’s job only one vote away from termination.
“Three strikes and you’re out” is the call for ubiquitous political candidate Thomas F. Reynolds, after Historic City News learned that he has withdrawn from a contest against St Augustine Beach Commissioner Undine C. George, who Supervisor of Elections Vicky Oakes reports is therefor elected by default.
This morning at about 8:30 a.m., St Augustine Police responded to a 911-call reporting a burglary in progress while the resident was inside the home. Public Information Officer Cecilia “Cici” Aiple informed Historic City News local reporters that Training Officer Jennifer Trotzke and her trainee, Officer India Green, were dispatched on the call.
Thirteen race-baiting followers of Ronald Rawls Jr, the majority of whom were identified by Historic City News as out-of-town residents, marched through the shoppers and visitors on St George Street Saturday September 22nd, screaming black nationalist chants and hurling invectives at innocent bystanders.
The City of St Augustine is clearly recognized for many things, but except for mis-management, poor-management, overpaid-management, or self-serving-management; professional management is not one of them. The latest example of lost opportunity for the city under John Regan’s underqualified management is the announcement that, in the next few months, any revenue from non-government owned parking lots will dry up.
